Well you have two muscles in your arm: the bicep and tricep. In order to make the arm move the two muscles must flex while the other extends and vice versa. So the bicep flexes and the tricep extends (the arm is bent). The bicep extends and the tricep flexes (the arm is straight)

Why must skeletal muscles work in pairs to move a bone?

Skeletal muscles work in pairs to move a bone so that the muscles can function properly. Muscles can only pull, therefore bones need two muscles to make it move. To put a finger up one muscle might pull, the other will put to put back down. With two, the movement will be smooth, otherwise it will be "jerky" and uncontrolled.

How many muscles work together move one bone 1 2 3 or 4?

Typically, two or more muscles work together to move a single bone. Muscles operate in pairs: one muscle contracts while the other relaxes to facilitate movement. For example, when bending the elbow, the biceps contract while the triceps relax. This coordinated action allows for smooth and controlled movement.

Why might some muscles fail to work properly if a bone is broken?

Because the muscles work by pulling on the bone. If the bone is broken, the force may not be transmitted to where it is needed.


What body parts work in pairs to pull your bones in different directions?

They are the muscles. Muscles contract in pairs to move the parts across the joint. One muscle contract with more power. The opposite muscle contracts with less power and get stretched over to allow the first muscle to act.


What is the difference between a muscle and a tendon?

Muscles,tendons,and bones are related because tendons connect muscle to bone and ligaments connect bone to bone.Tendons connect your muscles to your skeleton so that your muscles will make the bones move to were you need it to go.


Which structures work in antagonistic pairs to move bones?

Muscles work in antagonistic pairs to move bones. The pairs consist of an agonist (prime mover) that contracts to produce a movement, and an antagonist that relaxes to allow the movement to occur smoothly. This coordinated action helps control the direction and speed of movement.

Some skelatol musels have joints that help you move your bone.
